Exclusive – Haye: Beating Chisora shows I’m the best in the world

David Haye has told talkSPORT that his knockout win over Dereck Chisora proves that he is the best heavyweight fighter in the world.

The Hayemaker stopped Del Boy in the fifth round of their WBO and WBA international heavyweight title fight with an emphatic flurry of punches.

Chisora’s previous fight in February saw him go 12 rounds with WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko, the man many believe is the best fighter in the division.

And after the victory at Upton Park, Haye insisted that he has sent a message to the world and thinks he’d be able to defeat the Ukranian in a bout.

He told talkSPORT: “I believe that I’m the best in the world and this performance shows I’m the best in the world because a lot of people rank Vitali Klitschko as number one, but he struggled with Dereck over 12 rounds.

“I blasted Dereck out tonight and that has sent shockwaves around the world.
